I plan on knocking out the written this Spring using the Sheppard Air stuff and then doing the practical in a year or so after I've got back in the jet and flown a few hundred hours. Still deciding if I want to go check in a Seminole type deal or shell out the extra few thousand to something like HPA to get the type. I'm not necessarily one of those who has SWA way at the top of the dream list (would obviously be EXTREMELY happy to get the call from them), but HPA just seems like a top notch professional Operation that the extra $$$ might be worth it.
